Timeline of Title Sequences

During the last few lessons we have been looking into tile sequences of films to help us with the title sequences of our own opening scenes. I have chosen 4 films to analyse; Armageddon, Skyfall, Terminator and Fast and Furious 7.  There are many similarities and differences bewteen the films including the text, title, cast and storyline. these are the things that make each sequence different and unique. Some of the sequences were very basic for example terminator was very basic and had very basic graphics too. There was no storyline to it like in fast and furious and was made up of a blank background with green patterns and green text which flashed on the screen with the producer, actors and editors name. The text did give a hint into the Storyline of the film as to us it looked like a old fashion computer from the 80s which hinted that the film could be about technology. Other sequences like Armageddon also hinted about the storyline of the film by showing it through the font of the tile as it was fiery and red and also had a bit of storyline with the voiceover tha showed tha a meteor was on its path to hit earth which shows that the film will be surrounding the meteor. Fast and furious 7 doesn't hint at the storyline as it cuts straight to the first scene of the film after showing the directors and producers name. It goes straight into storyline and doesn't actually show any of the other actors or editors till after 1m 30s as i think they wanted the audience to focus on that bit of storyline. The title of this film also looks like its made out of steel and rolls onto the frame like a car which again hints that is what the film could be about. The order or the cast members, producers, editors etc, are in a specific order, mostly being the most important/most known to the least important ones. Fast and furious and the terminator follows this and also Armageddon even though that bruce willis is the only cast member shown as he was the only big name in the film at the time. Sky fall follows this but misses out the name of the director sam Mendes who is not shown in any on the opening titles.
